@rolena-hatfield Thank you. Praying buddies are the best thing in life. If you want I could get @spradlin to send you my personal email so we could prayer request to each other if you want. Don’t have to. Just an idea. 😀

Oh yes, @aella, the dragons are the WORST!
And yes, I know characters don’t like being killed off, believe me. Villains especially. The worst part of it is when you go back and edit— and technically they’re already dead, but you’re having to work with them again while they’re still alive and able to complain about what you did to them at the…[Read more]

@overcomer, This is definitely the “lounge” for me–complaining and procrastinating are my specialties. 😛

What made you love it in the first place, @hannah-c?

I like pencil drawings. I don’t draw too much, but the other day I sat down and drew one of my settings from one of my stories. It wasn’t as impressive as in my mind, but I still enjoyed it. 😉

Luke Skywalker sure wasn’t happy about it, @kate-flournoy 😉 I’m glad we’re both crazy.

That chainmail idea is genius, @daeus ! I’ll have to give it a try if any of my characters turn sour on me.

My characters are (generally) a little more grateful. They seem to understand that I am the only one who can make them immortal . . .

Welp, that’s what I get for creating characters with a more dominant nature than my own @Daeus.

The especially bold one I mentioned above is actually somewhat justified, though— I mean, I wouldn’t feel too happy about it either if someone made me lose my hand. 😛

@Daeus it hasn’t gotten quite that bad yet, though I do make sure I have a dagger or two about me when I work with my villains. For the most part the better-natured of my characters stand guard over me against the wilder ones, though that may change when it comes time to write their stories. 😛 They can’t seem to be able to grasp (or else don’t…[Read more]

Sometimes I consider myself to be more of a chronicler than a storyteller, who answers to the rather bossy demands of her characters to write their stories or be haunted forever! (Yep, now you all know how crazy I am.

Um… hellooooooo— that’s ME ALL OVER!

@overcomer, they can be quite bossy can’t they? I’ve even had them threaten me…[Read more]

@david I actually like the sky the way it is. The sky is never one total colour (at least in my opinion) I think it is really good. 😀

Hey @zoe-wingfeather , I’m so glad somebody appreciates me. 😉

I echo this: WHY IS THERE NOT ENOUGH TIME IN THE DAY TO DO EVERYTHING AND WRITE!!! (exclamations added) This is my life in a nutshell, complete with nutcracker.

Come on, your novel’s not lame, you just haven’t shed enough sweat and tears over it yet! Put some back into it!…[Read more]

Haha! Yes, you totally belong here, @Aella . My nemesis is weakening. 😉

You’re very brave, @daeus ! Rewriting your whole story is a bold and tough move. I envy your pertinacity.

So true about moms! I told mine what you said, and I think she agreed with you. 😉

You do that, @hope ! Don’t let the awesomeness of your neglected novel go to…[Read more]

I agree with everyone else @overcomer, it’s a great idea.

Oh YES! I can rant. Let me rant, let me rant. *No I shouldn’t* Argh, I gotta. I have just finished writing a novelette, 🙂 *that’s the good part* the bad part is I got to go back through and make it better. At the moment I’m working through a book called “Save the Cat” (If you haven’t read it you should) and well….my story just doesn’t seem to…[Read more]

@rolena-hatfield Nothing to do with this topic 😛 But I thought you might like to know that I am now on medication to improve my health. 😀 I hope it will do what it’s meant to. 🙂
(Just thought you would like to know, since you were praying about it.)

Ooh… that dolphin is gorgeous.

I find that when I work with pencils it’s more to sketch out a rough, quick idea than actually finish a polished piece of art, so most of my pencil drawings are pretty messy with a lot of unnecessary lines just marking out where I want things to go if the drawing ever translates into a painting. But the few…[Read more]

I use acrylic— I actually prefer it to oil just because I work very fast and in many layers, which is difficult to do with a slow-drying paint like oils. Oils I like because they don’t change colors (whereas watercolors fade and acrylics deepen) but for quick paintings I prefer acrylics.

I love the colors in that painting, @David. I also like…[Read more]
